📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their PORT positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🔻
Below peak — only 4% of 2.2Y high
4% of all-time peak
Only 2 funds hold PORT today versus a peak of 53 funds at 2023 Q1 — just 4% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉
Outflows — 96% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
51 fewer hedge funds hold PORT compared to a year ago (-96% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 5% buying
1 buying18 selling
Last quarter: 18 funds sold vs only 1 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-9 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 7 → 3 → 9 → 0. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -82%, value -100%
Last quarter: funds added -82% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -100%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~0 new funds/quarter
6 → 7 → 3 → 9 → 0 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 7 → 3 → 9 → 0. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
Exit risk score 2.2/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
